EDWARDSVILLE – The SIU Edwardsville men’s basketball team will play host to Saint Louis University, Portland State and Campbell as well as make trips to Southern California, Butler and Northwestern as part of its nonconference 2015-16 schedule.

“Our schedule will be challenging, but we want to measure ourselves against the best,” first-year coach Jon Harris said. “We have some good experiences built in for our guys with opportunities to play at Big 10 and Pac 12 programs.

“We want to give our fans games to be excited about,” Harris said. “Hosting Saint Louis this year will be great for the community.

“Our team is excited to begin a new era in Cougar basketball.”

The Cougars also will welcome Grand Canyon to the Vadalabene Center during the nonconference portion of their schedule. SIUE will travel for games at SIU Carbondale, Milwaukee and Indiana University-Purdue-FortWayne.
